Record: 3-1 (+1.9 units)

No problem with Philly and the Under...but I could :cry: about the Ram "sack/fumble", very liberal call of "in the grasp"...TD would have put final at 24-17 (gee that's what I predicted... :scared )...but hey...still on the plus side.

Friday Picks:

Chicago (-1')...Da Bears loaded at QB...each wants a piece of the pie...Defense pretty much in place and Bear "wanna-be's" know pretty much what Lovey expects. SF on the other hand has alot of question marks...I don't see this one even being close. (Looking at 28-10)

NYJets (+3')...don't really understand this one...I kinda of lean toward "new coaches"...players want to make that first good impression. And Buc's banged up goin' in.

Detroit (+1')...pretty much same as above...and throw in the "Tiger" factor...not Woods...but baseball. Lions at home wanna win over their Motown fans.

Baltimore (U33')...the debut of McNair and the pushing out of Bollar, think Kyle wants to show something ...Lewis back...defense pretty standard. The Giants pay alot for Arrington to sit this one out, but look for solid preformance none the less.

Atlanta (-3)...the surprise of the night...biggest reason is Bilichick...I think he's gonna use the pre-season to move what pieces he has around, looking for situational combonations. And without Veniteri and Bruschi (the heart & soul of the Pats) out indefinately, see the Pats just playin' "to find themselves".

Da Bears (10 units)

Falcons (5 Units)
Jets (5 Units)

Detroit (3 Units)

Balt/NYG (2 Units)

not sure the loins are going for the kill:

Marinelli said he planned to play the starters less than a quarter,
and many of the starters aren't going to play at all.

add to that Denver is letting Cutler loose for 1-2 quarters, i suspect Denver is going to try hard to win this one.

DENVER is 17-2 on the road in week one.
last 4 years 11-6 ATS.

Marinelli is a former DC at tampa, so i suspect he'll be emphasizing defense in preseason.

Good points sdf...interested to see how Cutler reacts to pro-game...I liked him at Vandy...but hold-out didn't win him points w/Shanahan. Add in the Bronco RB-by committee starting out...with Dayne and Bell looking up...kinda see more run oriented offense and it kinda weens Cutler in...but again just think the "impress the new boss" theory will play out...Marinelli wants to rid the team of the "liedowns" persona. Have to wait and see how it plays out.
